At present, ADAS and autonomous driving are very hot topics in the automotive field, and competition in the new automotive field is becoming increasingly fierce. World-renowned car companies, related technology companies, and Internet companies are actively involved in this part of the market because of the huge market size behind them. At present, the new industrial chain related to ADAS and autonomous driving is not yet mature, and it is the perfect time to seize the opportunity and achieve the overtaking of the curve. McKinsey, a world-renowned management consulting firm, said in a research report that by 2030, autopilot-related new car sales and travel services are expected to generate more than $500 billion in revenue, and China is likely to be the world's largest market.
With the further development of technologies such as artificial intelligence technology, Internet of Things technology, new energy technology and laser pointer sensing, the definition of future cars will be subverted to some extent, and more extension functions will be developed. The realization of the autopilot technology will liberate the driver, and the interior design layout of the car will be more socialized, which will extend more practical significance. By adopting a smarter central system, the car will be greatly enhanced in terms of sensing ability and adaptability. At the same time, with the high-speed network connection, the entire transportation system will become more intelligent and coordinated, more smooth and comfortable traffic, and a safer driving era. Will come.
Both the ADAS and the true sense of autonomous driving put forward higher requirements for the car's external perception and flexible handling. While these new technologies can give us a more convenient and comfortable experience, security considerations are still essential. The realization of autonomous vehicles is mainly derived from powerful computational analysis capabilities and accurate sensing capabilities. The ability to detect and sense information is a prerequisite for computational analysis. Therefore, the need for autonomous vehicles is more urgent.
For the time being, cameras, ultrasound, laser pointer infrared and other technologies are generally used to enhance the car's perception, but in terms of autonomous driving, the current performance of these technologies is still difficult to achieve the desired level. Lidar and millimeter-wave radar stand out from these options with their own performance advantages, and their performance in autonomous driving is highly anticipated.
The radar was first used as a weapon of war on the historical stage. The world's first practical radar was used to detect the passing of the English Channel during the Second World War. The radar was silently lurking, and electromagnetic waves were emitted into the air day and night. After that, it will be detected immediately, and an alarm will be issued. With the development of science and technology, radar has begun to turn to the civilian field, and it has quietly contributed to the fields of weather forecasting, resource detection, and environmental monitoring.
